Area Attractions

The park's location between Calumet and Hancock makes a fine base for visitors to visit attractions such as abandoned shafthouses, tram cars, "poor rock" piles and ghost towns. Visitors of the Keweenaw are invited to explore the newly created "Keweenaw National Historic Park," which has preserved relics from the days when "Copper was King!"

The Keweenaw Waterway Lighthouse is located near the park and one of the attractions of the area.

March 7 Favorite Michigan park by cars

Incredibly beautiful. My husband and I fell in love at this park over 30 years ago. Have been back many times since. Love it.

September 29 Great Park by Nicole

My family used to camp here all the time when I was a child, and now my husband and I camp there too. Its got everything; beaches, trails, great sites, showers, etc...

July 23 Loved this park by Sue V.

My husband and I did the loop around Superior and stayed in one of the cabins in this park. I got great sunset pictures and we walked and walked the beach. Very clean area. Great spot and we are planning another trip to this park in Sept.

April 22 Worth a visit all year by Cornish cousin.

I enjoy walking (or snow shoeing!) through the park at all times of the year and make a point of visiting at least once during our visits from England, about every six months or so.
